RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Glucotrack, Inc. (NASDAQ:GCTK), a medical technology company specializing in diabetes care with a current market capitalization of $1.96 million, has announced the immediate appointment of Ted Williams as Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. According to InvestingPro data, the company faces significant financial challenges, with its stock down over 90% in the past year and currently trading at $0.12. Williams, with nearly a quarter-century of experience in regulatory affairs and quality assurance for complex medical devices, is expected to play a critical role in advancing the company's continuous blood glucose monitoring system (CBGM) through the regulatory process and into the U.S. market.
Williams' background includes significant roles at Glysens Inc., where he managed regulatory affairs for an implantable continuous glucose monitor (CGM), and previous positions at Therapeutics Inc. and Cardium Therapeutics, which focused on a range of medical solutions from drugs and biologics to medical devices and gene therapy.

"I am honored to join the Company at this pivotal time as we advance our human clinical trials and create a strategic regulatory program for the CBGM," Williams stated regarding his new role at Glucotrack.
Paul V. Goode, PhD, President and CEO of Glucotrack, expressed his enthusiasm for Williams' addition to the team, highlighting the importance of his experience in navigating regulatory pathways for the development of the company's CBGM.

This device is designed to provide long-term, implantable blood glucose monitoring with a sensor lifespan of three years, no on-body wearable component, and minimal calibration, aiming to improve the lives of millions living with diabetes.
